The only thing keeping our hopes alive is the gap between the top 4 and rest of the comp.
At this stage top 4 is almost impossible but top 8 is still very likely. Who'd have thought 🤔

Why couldn't we have played that Manly?

The idea that a player like Brimson has to fight for his best position at a perennial cellar dweller club is insane to me.

That's the problem when their system for some reason produces natural fullbacks, and doesn't produce natural halves.

Brimson is an absolute weapon at fullback and has been for 6 years now. He'd be a widely talked about star if he played for a good team.

Its not necessarily a problem though. You could argue weve had the same issue in the halves this decade. Keep the best one or maybe two if possible. Let the rest go (rough as that would feel) and set up a better balance of talent across the squad.

Their outside backs are very ordinary. Khan Pereira is good, Fifita is ok. From there its a biiig drop off. A lot of their defensive issues would be solved if they lost one or two of their supremely talented fullbacks and bought couple of reasonably priced defensively sound centers.

Because we are the 4-time defending premiers. Every bastard side lifts against us. When Manly and Souffs beat us earlier in the year. It was jubilation from their players at FT.
After years of not beating us. They are all desperate to lift and beat us.
Same feeling after first Easts game jubilation for players and probably more so for the bookies.
